With Oklahoma’s All-American Rejects, you always know that bouncy pop rock is going to be guaranteed. The All-American Rejects has to date released three studio albums, and ever since the band burst onto the scene with ‘Swing, Swing’ back in 2003, always the music has had a lot to offer.
The All-American Rejects is most certainly a band that knows how to write a catchy pop song, and for pure singability, ‘Gives You Hell’ definitely doesn’t disappoint. The lyrics are a little dark, the track is sung out as sweetly as ever by the band’s lead vocalist Tyson Ritter though, and the fun nature of the music is just absolutely fantastic to find.
‘Gives You Hell’ is a strongly structured pop song, and whilst the band probably won’t win any awards for originality, as a piece of pop rock music the track works well, and the infectious nature of the music provides for a very entertaining overall listening experience.
If you’re a bit of a music snob then you probably won’t like ‘Gives You Hell’, if however you like light-hearted music that makes you smile, then there’s a strong probability that you’ll like what The All-American Rejects has to offer here.
‘Gives You Hell’ is a high quality piece of pop, and once again The All-American Rejects has pulled it off in putting to record a cheery sounding pop rock song which is fun to sing and dance along to.
